Perfection

The wedding for our daughter was 9/24/2022. Our experience with Terri at La Bocca Fina was excellent. Terri was so helpful with all aspects of the wedding dinner and reception. She was there every step of the process and on the wedding day to ensure the quality of the event.

After serving 4 absolutely delicious hors d'oeuvres (shrimp, lamb, crostini and artichokes), we chose a family style of service with a Caprese salad, tri tip, salmon, and butternut squash ravioli. We were so happy with the quality of the food and service. Totally exceeded our expectations, because usually wedding food is so-so, but La Bocca Fina served absolutely yummy food. Kudos to the chef! The chef even graciously accommodated several of our guests with dietary needs. We elected not to have a cake, rather we offered 5 desserts and each was delicious!!

Honestly, there is nothing negative to say. We even had La Bocca Fina run the the bar service and they were efficient, never with long lines for the 170 guests.

Thank you Terri and La Bocca Fina for helping to ensure that our daughter's wedding day was perfect! We highly recommend La Bocca Fina to anyone and everyone who wanting a perfect celebration!

AMAZING! Teri is the best!

Teri is the best and we would hire her again in a heartbeat! We hired her to cater our wedding in June at Villa Montalvo. She is one of their preferred caterers and knows the venue so well, which is key to a successful event! Her food was incredible--our friends and family are still talking about how good the food was which is pretty unheard of for a 200 person dinner. She worked with us on all the special details from obtaining local apricots for the salad to incorporating my favorite cheese and making sure that everyone's dietary restrictions were accounted for. She even made sure that my husband and I got to try all of the passed appetizers by bringing us a special tray just for us while we greeted our guests! She is the ultimate wedding cheerleader and has such great advice. We trusted her to make it a lovely experience and she and her staff more than delivered.

She is so passionate about food and I know that for us when we first got the quote I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information on there. We had other quotes that looked more "professional" and "polished," but PLEASE don't let that dissuade you from hiring Teri. I think that she brings a personal touch to her catering business that is rare in the industry, and yet when it comes to service she picks amazing people and the actual even was so polished and professional. She is the perfect combination of the two.

We also had her cater the welcome party for the wedding weekend. She made Paella and it was spectacular! We very much look forward to having another event so we can hire Teri again!

Hands down the best catering team!

Teri and her La Bocca Fina team were a pleasure to work with, and served delicious food at our wedding at Nestldown in September 2019! Teri was consistently enthusiastic, helpful, and flexible in all of our interactions. I really enjoyed the experience of crafting our menu with Teri, and several of our wedding guests raved to us about the food. The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and the menu was creative and offered plenty of choices for our guests. I especially appreciated La Bocca Fina's attentiveness to allergies. We had several guests with various dietary restrictions, and La Bocca Fina took great care to watch out for these specific guests and create special meals just for them. On top of all this, the La Bocca Fina staff were so professional and friendly and the service was top notch. The entire experience with La Bocca Fina was incredibly positive and I would recommend them to anyone!
